BALTIMORE (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Just one day after Fort Worth Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald withdrew his name from contention, Baltimore’s mayor has picked New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison as her nominee to lead the city’s troubled force.

Mayor Catherine Pugh says Harrison will soon retire from the New Orleans Police Department with the intention of coming to Baltimore. She says he’s “achieved clear, compelling and consistent results in reducing violent crime” and led a city under a federal consent decree similar to the one ramping up in Baltimore.

Harrison says he looks forward “to getting to Baltimore in the coming weeks to engage broadly with residents.”
